Deaf Folks: Since so many ladled and teen age girls put up their hair (and we want it especially nice tomorrow), let me tell you the proper way to remove those rollers particularly if your hair is long. Unroll them the opposite way they were rolled up. Starting at the neck line, unfasten each roller gently, and p-u-1-1 it down towards the shoulder.

This will keep the hair from tangling and pulling. Go around the head from one side to the other, and as each roller is loosened, pull it DOWN again over the last curl you unrolled. When you get to the top of the head, undo the one towards the back first again pulling each one toward the back and down again. When you first start combing or brushing the curls, so it the same way you removed the rollers starting at the neck and proceeding upwards. This will make the hair easier to comb or brush out, and will help hold the set in place, in case one or more curls are still slightly damp.

He likes the bathroom scales. He crawls halfway on them and pounds on them so that numbers go back and forth. He loves lo watch them. Of course, I have to adust them the next time I want to use the scale. But.

BEFORE I realized this, I thought I had gained 20 pounds after being on a diet for two weeks! Nina R. Sherwood Dear Heloise: After reading your article about pressing dacron curtains on a terry cloth towel, I bought some terry cloth, and covered my whole ironing board. It's wonderful. Thanks to you for figuring out this problem. Mrs.

Ray Lewis, Jr. No trouble at all. I was desperate, and had to try something! Heloise Dear Heloise: I save butter and oleo wrappers to put around individual hamburgers, cube steaks, and other meat, before wrapping them with waxed paper or putting in plastic bags to store in the freezer. 0. G.

Dear Heloise: At present opening time on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, everyone used to open all of their packages at the same time. In all the excitement, quite often we did not get to see what each person had received, and that is half the fun of opening the presents. So we decided it would be more fun for everyone to open one gift; the person seated next to him would open one. and so on until all of the gifts had been opened. As gifts were opened, they were passed around or held up so everyone could see them.

This takes a lot more time who's in a hurry on this 'estive occasion? Naturally, since the children receive more gifts than grown ups, they finish opening the rest of theirs afterwards. Andora Dear Friends: Are you all getting excited' I am. And the happiest of Christ mas Eves to all of you.

IMRRY CHRISTMAS PUT fittUift for a and 60H6 Town Topics Deaf Readers: The Pacific Stars and Stripes, a semi-official daily newspaper, under authority of the Department of Defense, has a readership of some 200,000 servicemen in the Par East, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Okinawa, the Philippines, Guam and Vietnam. James H. Shaw, their assistant feature editor, asked me to write a special Christmas letter to the "guys" who read my column in their paper.

I did. And I want to share it with all my readers, since I know I reflect your sentiments as well as my own. Here it is: Dear Guys: How does one say "Season's Greetings" to men in action where seasons are scarcely noted and the surroundings are nothing like home. The Yuletide in your American homeland won't be quite the same without you. And I know that millions of Americans would like to send you personal greetings with gratitude were it possible.

I have no official right to speak for anyone else to convey a holiday message of love and kisses, and of a deeply-felt prayer for your success and safety. But I can feel the pulse of your country, boys, and say it is steady and strong and in rhythm with your efforts. So, strange as it may sound, in a place where merriness is a memory and happiness a stranger, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the American armed and special forces across the seas! We love you and want you back when the job you are doing for all of us is done. God bless you, kids. Sincerely yours, Abby DEAR ABBY: Does a dog belong to the family who buys him or to the family it prefers to live with? There is a dachshund down the street that is a real little charmer.

The people who own him try to keep him at home, but he cries and chews his rope and constantly tries to get free. And the moment he Is loose he heads for the home of a neighbor just as fast as his stubby little legs will carry'him. There he is welcome with open arms by a houseful of kids who love him. The parents have offered to buy the dog, but the owners refuse to sell. Outside help is needed.

DOG LOVER DEAR LOVER! It's a dog-goned shame to imprison the hide of a creature whose heart is elsewhere. But the animal belongs to the people who own it, no matter who 'loves" it more, or whom the dog prefers. Bui keep trying. DEAR. ABBY: I am eleven years old and in the sixth grade.

Every semester the kids in our room elect a king and queen. Last Monday we took a vote and a king and queen were chosen. On Wednesday the king told us that his father was being trans ferred out of town and they were moving, so we had better pick another king to take his place. Well, we took a vote and was picked. On Friday the old king came to school with the news that his father's boss said they didn't have to move out of town, so he could be king again.

Now the class is having trouble trying to decide who should be king, him or me. What do you think? "KING CHARLES" DEAR KING CHARLES: I think you should remain king. And this should be a lesson to all kings and queens. Don't turn in your crowns until you are certain your father is being transferred out of town. Confidential to "Dick in A "pro" is one who can do a first-class job whether he feels like it or not.
